# Warhammer 40k tags: #game/wargame/warhammer-40k ![[Warhammer 40k (cover).png]] ## Description **Warhammer 40k**, the game where the grim darkness of the far future is less a setting and more a lifestyle choice. It’s a tabletop miniature wargame that’s as much about the hobby of collecting and painting as it is about rolling dice and wiping out armies. The core die resolution mechanics revolve around rolling a bunch of six-sided dice, hoping for high numbers, and invoking the favor of the Emperor (or whichever dark deity you’ve pledged your soul to). It’s a game where strategy meets chaos on the battlefield, and the only certainty is death, destruction, and the occasional rule dispute. Over the years, **Warhammer 40k** has seen multiple editions, each tweaking the rules like a Tech-Priest adjusts a servo-arm. From the streamlined simplicity of the 3rd edition to the complex layers of the 7th, and back to simplicity with the 8th, the game has evolved while still maintaining its core of dice, measurements, and lore so dense you could use it as tank armor. ## References - [Warhammer 40k Wiki - Fandom](https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Warhammer_40k_Wiki) - [Complete Overview of Warhammer 40k - Adeptus Ars](https://www.adeptusars.com/guides/warhammer-40000) - [Warhammer 40k on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000) - [Game Mechanics Guide - Steam Community](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1576663819) - [Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/673880/Warhammer_40000_Mechanicus) - [Best Warhammer 40K Games Ranked - PC Gamer](https://www.pcgamer.com/best-warhammer-40k-games/) - [Darktide Review - IGN](https://www.ign.com/articles/warhammer-40000-darktide-review) - [Boltgun Review - IGN](https://www.ign.com/articles/warhammer-40000-boltgun-review) - [History of Editions – 3rd, 4th & 5th Edition - Bell of Lost Souls](https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2020/03/warhammer-40k-a-history-of-editions-3rd-4th-5th-edition.html) - [Warhammer 40K Starter Sets Comparison - GamesRadar+](https://www.gamesradar.com/warhammer-40k-starter-sets-compared-which-one-should-you-buy/) - [Where to Buy Warhammer 40k - Bing Shopping](https://bing.com/search?q=Where+to+buy+Warhammer+40k+game) - [Official Warhammer 40,000 Website](https://www.warhammer.com/warhammer-40000-lp) - [Find Your Local Warhammer Store](https://stores.warhammer.com/) - [Warhammer 40,000 Portal](https://warhammer40000.com/) > [!quote] Neurothrope-00 ![[Neurothrope Avatar.png|100]]
